if you enjoy firearms jk, how many is too many?
if you enjoy shooting firearms again how much ammo in your home is to much?
if you enjoy reloading for your firearms, one more time, how much powder is too much?
when this happened a couple of years ago it was estimated that he had about 15lbs of smokeless powder and about 5 lbs of black powder.
he had been collecting firearms all of his life and been reloading for years.
BOTH LEGAL ACTIVITIES.
interesting when the gov trumps up charges.
the only thing this guy was guilty of is being unfortunate enough of having a fire burn down his house.

OK now your original comments make more sense to me. You have obviously been following the case from the beginning. It's is always disturbing if/when law enforcement betrays the public trust if the charges and evidence were tampered with or lied about.goathead wrote:if you enjoy firearms jk, how many is too many?

Though the "how much is too much?" question is a good one. I would guess that the answer would depend a lot on how densly populated the area is where you live. If I lived in an apartment building and found out someone else in my building had 100lbs of explosives in their apartment, I'd be concerned. If I lived on several acres in the country, it wouldn't matter nearly as much how much explosives my neibor had.
In the city where I live, if you live in an apartment you can't even store gasoline in the garage--nor can you store 20lb propane tanks in the garage either.

How many of us store live ammo in a fireproof enclosure? It's true that burning ammo is dangerous. The burning rounds have nowhere near the velocity or power that they would have if they were fired from a weapon. The gunpowder is no particular danger. FFFFFg powder burns faster than FFFg but still not all that fast. Most reloading is with FFFg.
The smokeless powder just burns if it isn't enclosed.
Shoot, GIs used c4 to cook with. Dynamite burns nicely.
It sounds like the guy got careless and had a fire. The presence of live cartridges made everything worse. I don't believe that 15 years was warranted for his carelessness.

I don't post things because I believe that they are the absolute truth. I post them because I believe that they should be considered.
When the police make mistakes, they prosecute or bury them.
Maybe he wouldn't make a deal, being innocent and all?
Read the waco search warrant sometime.
See if you can find anything illegal on the list.
Last time I checked, the limit for black powder is 25 pounds, without paperwork.
You can go through that really quick with big guns.

Even Tombstone in its Old West shootout days had stricter open carry laws than Arizona has today. A gunslinger had to check his weapon as soon as he got to town. That law was passed out of necessity - the violence had simply gotten out of hand.

Good article... Too bad it was an urban California paper, not an Arizona one, as it is kinda like the Mayor of NYC sending people to buy guns out of state to try to push his anti-gun agenda nationwide... If it were the Phoenix Sun, that would mean a lot more than a San Bernardino, CA. (which has a violence issue that's pretty nasty themselves) paper...
A lot of western towns way back when had the same law, actually... and yeah, it was intended to keep the local peace, and from the lawless from coming into town and disturbing that peace... There was a difference, tho... the guns were checked in, not confiscated and not returned (which they would be today), and returned to their rightful owners. They understood people had the right to be (and were usually) armed - travelers usually for damned good reason.
The other issue - in most cases, these laws were enacted on VISITORS (who were looked at as suspect anyway), and usually not the residents. The residents of these towns often DID have firearms, both for hunting, sustenance, and security, in case someone (or ones) decided that this gunless town was E-Z pickings, or the local doc/vet/tooth puller/barber had to put down a injured animal (like a horse), or the local meat-cutter to get game to sell, etc.
Because the Sheriff's who wanted to disarm their own populace didn't do so for egalitarian reasons, but to keep themselves from getting "fired" via the lead delivery service, because they themselves were petty dictators... not much different than today. Fear of those you oppress makes you want to dis-empower those you're oppressing, so they can't send you packing and reclaim their freedom and liberty...

One of those good buzzword statements, but very misleading.
Comparing all of arizona to a city under martial law is hardly meaningful.
We're having the same stuff trotted out of the closet that they have been using since permits became legal here, end of the world, etc.
Every new law gets the same routine.
Do they mention that open carry was the idea of law enforcement?
I'm hearing the same song and dance about self defense on university campuses that we heard about permits.
Now they brag about how the police reduced crime.
Just coincidence that any changes sync with carry and use.
In Tombstone, were these people allowed to carry weapons into town, or even own them?

Who is at the time of possession serving a term of imprisonment in any correctional or detention facility.
Who at the time of possession is serving a term of probation pursuant to a conviction for a domestic violence offense or a felony offense, parole, community supervision, work furlough, home arrest or release on any other basis or who is serving a term of probation or parole.
Who was previously adjudicated delinquent and who possesses, uses or carries a firearm within ten years from the date of adjudication or release for an offense that if committed as an adult would constitute first or second degree burglary, arson, murder, manslaughter, kidnapping, robbery, aggravated assault, sexual assault or any felony offense involving the use or threatening exhibition of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.
An unemancipated person under 18 not accompanied by a parent, grandparent, guardian, or a certified hunter safety instructor or certified firearms safety instructor acting with consent of the minor's parent, grandparent or guardian shall not carry or possess on his person, within his immediate control, or in or on a means of transportation a firearm in any place open to the public or on any street, highway, or on private property, except private property owned or leased by the minor or the minor's parent, grandparent, or guardian.
This prohibition does not apply to a person between 14 and 17 engaged in lawful hunting, marksmanship practice, transportation of an unloaded firearm for the purpose of hunting or, between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., transportation of an unloaded firearm for the purpose of marksmanship at a range or other area where the discharge of firearms is not prohibited.

This does not apply to shooting ranges or shooting events, hunting areas or similar locations or activities.
Concealed carry requires a permit similar to most states.
Carry is typically restricted if alcohol is consumed.
The same myriad of obscure restrictions would apply to these permits.
Additional laws-
It is unlawful to recklessly handle, display, or discharge a firearm with the intent to disturb the peace and quiet of a neighborhood, family or person.
No person shall discharge a firearm from a motor vehicle, including an automobile, aircraft, train, boat or floating object towed by powerboat or sailboat.

Hey, I think my partner and I will be coming up to San Fransisco sometime in the next three or four weeks for a BM planning meeting with other members of our camp. We're just trying to coordinate everyone's schedules. When I get the exact dates confirmed, I'll let you know. If you're free and might like to go for coffee or cocktails or lunch, that would be great.

I understand the rebels have now adopted hello kitty pink to avoid friendly fire incidents.

The Libyan army has now adopted the use of technicals and the fear is that they will mark them to match the rebels.

Effectively the old west can be visited by going to the right frontier now.
Or even watched on video, thanks to mobiles.
I understand the average gunfight involved shooting from ambush in a rural setting, rarely with a handgun.
The typical city gunfight involved one person chasing another with a shotgun, often missing due to intoxication.
An amusing parlor game among hunters was shooting things off of each other's heads while heavily intoxicated.
I have a friend that was gold mining in honduras.
The serious risk was getting to town in the first place.
They had the old west style bars there.
One day he started recognizing people, something that should not happen in an area not on the map.
It was the prelude to us intervention.
That was the end of the mining, for now.

(2) I LOVE it when we can turn someone from the island away from the dark side, and toward enlightenment!!! Did that to my former son-in-law - went from a dejected "I can't shoot that, I don't have a license for it" (??!! Talk about brainwashed masses!) to "I want to emigrate... NOW."
(Imagine if we were in a place like Arizona or Texas where they have **really** fun firearms, instead of California... )

"I am a burglar, please open the door."
Police dress up as doctors to test citizens
Wed, Apr 27 2011
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish police donned white coats and stethoscopes to disguise themselves as doctors, then knocked on people's doors to see how easily they would fall for a confidence scam.
The undercover police officers told residents of the southeastern city of Gaziantep they were screening for high blood pressure and handed out pills, according to Turkish media.
They were alarmed when residents at 86 out of 100 households visited on Tuesday swallowed the pills immediately.
Police later returned to warn residents to be more cautious.
The police pills were harmless placebos. But a local gang had been using the same technique to give people heavy sedatives and then burgle them.
Turkish police in other provinces have also used novel methods to test citizens' gullibility.
Officers in Adana in southern Turkey last week called at houses, announcing through the intercom: "I am a burglar, please open the door."
Police said they were stunned at the number of people who opened the door, the Radikal daily newspaper reported.

Oh hell yes!
It seems that the people who I really dig here @ Das Playa also share yet another fondness, GUNS.
Met my wife in the army (on a rifle range no less) ~18yrs ago. When I took her out shooting with my personal weapons and saw her powdering small rocks @ 75yds with an iron-sighted AK, I knew I was gonna marry that girl.
Me and my service rifle (Fuck! So young then...)

Li'l family outing. Yes Virginia, that is a grenade launcher. I kinda fell in love with those things...

Me: "Honey? Let's go to Tigard."
Her: "Can we go to The Gun Broker?"
Me: "Sure! Should I bring the investment checkbook?"
Her: "Well we are going to be investing in precious metals..."
Love that girl...
